The Atlantic: Inherit the Wind One of the “Great Trial Movies of All Time”

Whig History

Now Andrew Cohen joins Judge John Jones in his approbation of the fictional play and movie, Inherit the Wind. In the hands of evolutionists the Lawrence and Lee script has codified the Warfare Thesis, a myth so useful that evolutionists continue to promote the movie at the cost of their own credibility. For students all of this provides a living example of the age-old anti-intellectual practice of remaking and retelling history to justify today’s lies and discrimination—the sort of thing that the script was originally, and ironically, meant to expose.

Cohen not only gives high praise to Inherit the Wind, absurdly calling it “one of the great trial movies of all time,” he also approvingly cites equally spurious renditions of on-going policy disputes from the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, reviewed here, here and here.

Great movie. Too bad you are now prejudiced against white southerners from Alabama, how could it be otherwise? Since it also took liberties with a actual event for the purposes of the narrative, your mind is now filled with propaganda and lies. After all that is the power of movies, it strips one of the ability to discern fact from fiction. I have finally come around to your logic
